Conversation with my daughter:

Me: Did you send an emial to JennJenn asking if you can borrow her book?

Myr: Not yet. If you type it up, I'll sign it.

Me: I don't think so.

Myr: I can't type.

Me: If you can read, you can type.

Myr: Well... I can't read.

Me: Then you don't need the book.

Myr: I like looking at the pretty picutres.

Me: There are no pictures in the book.

Myr:: The one on the cover. And the letters form pretty patterns. They are fun to look at, too.

Heh. Such is my life.

Hee!

A common conversation around my house growing up:

Person: Hey, that's my book!/Aren't you done with that section of the paper yet?

Other person: No.

Person: Hurry up! You can't read anyhow!

Other person: I know; I just like looking at the pictures.

Alternately:

Me: Dad, are you reading my Mad magazine/comic book?

Dad: I'm censoring it; making sure it's fit for you to read.

Me: I read it already.

Dad: I'm censoring it retroactively.
